Re: Upgrade to Premium
Hi Chickadeedee,
Great name and great sig (I must try the sig's advice one day).
When you go to your board's control panel, please follow the buttons down on the left hand side. The one at the bottom should say, 'Purchase Premium Credits'.
Click on that and follow the instructions.
If you don't see that button, please let us know but it should be there (I can see it there now).

Re: Upgrade to Premium
Thank you Rimmer!
There is NO button. I have looked high and low for it.
Btw, I have had other boards here and made one of them premium, so I know how to do it. For some reason tho, there is nothing showing up to allow me to make this board premium.

Thanks for your help!

Re: Upgrade to Premium
Hello Chickadeedee. If your board is new then you will have premium for a short while. I am not sure how long it is, but new boards have this. One of the Admins will be able to tell you how long its free. This may be why you cannot see the button right now..

Thanks,Chickadeedee.
Erika made a good point regarding free premium period for new boards, but it's been more than three weeks since you created the board. So the free premium period is well and truly over.
Looking back in the archives *coughs and brushes the dust off his shoulder*, I see we had a similar case back in Mar08 and Lesigner Girl sorted it out using some sort of magic spell.
We'll let LG do her stuff again and in the meanwhile, I'll put on my BGPs and deal with getting your board premium for the time being.

Re: Upgrade to Premium
I had no idea how long Chick had had the board. The board is private.
So how long do new boards get?
Lesa... she can do anything. She is simply quite amazingly incredible.

Back in The Day, it used to be a week. I hadn't heard that it had changed, but there's been much happening at RB lately...

Yes, she is.

Re: Upgrade to Premium
You guys are the best.
Yes, as far as I know, the free premium for boards still lasts one week.
Chickadeedee, I don't know why you're not seeing the button (I'm seeing it, just as Rimmer said he did), but I created and uploaded a page with a button for you to click, and sent the URL to you via PM just now.

Re: Upgrade to Premium
Thank you for your help! Rimmer you look cute in your big girl panties. LOL I have that as my signature because I'm getting tired of being put in the middle of petty arguments!
When I created the board it said the premium period was for 10 days, which is now over.
And...another issue....during that time none of us (members on my board) were able to see the Inbox notification. We didn't know when we received a PM or how many. Nothing shows up on the main board. Not sure why that feature would not work during the 10 day period??? I hope when I make my board premium that it will work. If not, I'll be back. LOL
Got your PM and thank you for your help, Lesigner Girl...you too Erika E and Rimmer!

Re: Upgrade to Premium
You're welcome, Chicadeedee.
Unfortunately, board premium doesn't affect inbox notifications. Inbox notifications are user-specific rather than board-specific, and will alert a premium user while they're at any board they visit. See here for a reference chart.
If anyone wishes to upgrade their user account, it can also benefit your board if they click on the "Upgrade account" link at the top of your board before they upgrade. This will put a note in the system to give your board 10,000 additional premium credits for the referral, once the user upgrade is completed.
